Ingredients
Scale
- For Classic Pizza Calzone:
- 1 refrigerated classic pizza crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz pepperoni slices
- 4 oz can sliced black olives, drained
- For Broccoli & Cheddar Calzone:
- 1 refrigerated classic pizza crust
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped broccoli (12 oz frozen bag, thawed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the racks in the middle. Grease two baking trays or line them with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the pizza dough into two halves. Roll each half into a circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough circles to the baking trays.
- Spread pizza sauce on one half of each dough circle.
- Top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and black olives.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket, pressing the edges together with your fingers or a fork to seal. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- In a bowl, mix chopped broccoli with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Spoon the broccoli mixture onto one half of each dough circle, fold the dough over the filling, and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, swapping the trays halfway through baking, until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Let the calzones cool slightly before serving.
Notes
These calzones can be customized with your favorite fillings. Consider adding different vegetables or cheeses to suit your taste.
